  Nils Wine: Michael Martinez I am asking for a natural way. Popular online médias get almost immediately back links once they publish a post

  Michael Martinez: AdminNils Wine You can share links to your content via social media. The search engines don`t care about those.As you acquire more followers and they enjoy your content, some of them will link to your site. Over time that builds up.As you`re publishing a blog you can make it easy for people to follow your RSS feed in feed readers. If you only publish excerpts some people won`t subscribe but the scraper bots won`t be able to (easily) steal all your content.Over time if people enjoy your content some of them will link to it.Earning links naturally takes time but it gets easier as you earn more links and build up your reputation.

  Nils Wine: Ammon Johns how to build a reputation ?
• 
  Ammon Johns: ModeratorNils Wine with consideration and consistency. Those are the simple key ingredients. Your reputation is based entirely on what people come to expect of you. Of course, sometimes the hardest part is being noticed for anything at all, never mind with consistency, but despite that start with consistency.The reason you start with consistency is that when someone is first impressed by you they`ll often wonder who you are and what you have done before. When they look at content you`ve produced in the past, if they find it consistent with what just impressed them, then they expect your future content will also be consistent, which gives them a reason to become followers.
